Hi!
Some months back I have purchased a new IPAd 3.2.2, I was trying for the first time to jailbreak it with Limera1n. but suddenly a notice appeared in Itunes saying that " The IPAd is in recovery mode, restore ur data" I could not understand & when I opened my ipad I found it totally blank, it just showed to install itunes, with a white wire. When I connected it to the laptop it said to install iOS 3.4 & said it would take approximately 7-8 hrs, but I can remeber when I connected my Ipad for the first time ever, it got started in just 15-30 mins.
Plz help me in d matter, so that i can recover my lost data.

Have you let iTunes do it's work? iTunes automatically backups your iPad every time it is connected to iTunes.

Just connect the iPad to iTunes and then on the iPad page select Restore.

You will loose all apps and get banned from this forum for using illegal apps.

Don't expect any help from here.

You mean downloading iOS 4.2 takes 7-8h, or the whole procedure?

You probably don't have much of a choice. I would let iTunes do its job, even if it takes some time.
